Cordsmith
Cordsmith
A bespoke tool for creating knitted cord.
Designed by a maker, for makers.
"I don’t know about you, but while I love the way i-cord looks, I really dislike knitting it. So, I decided to see if I could design a tool to make the process more enjoyable, and faster too."
Enter, the Cordsmith. This simple tool allows you to create a row of i-cord with a single movement, replacing three knit stitches and the time it takes to slide your stitches back to your working needle again.
Yes, it really is that fast and it’s easy enough that kids can use it too!
What can the Cordsmith be used for?
Anything that requires knitted cord!
- Use it to create i-cord to cast on a project

- Use the i-cord to knit or crochet a super squishy blanket, rugs or chair cushions

The Original Cordsmith is designed to be ‘one size fits most’!
Cordsmith Mini is intended for yarn weights lace up to sport and creates a cord about the gauge of bulky weight yarn. The process for using them is the same!
